[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Have you guys tried "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin? I have seen reports that it still works with 4.2.1, but can't confirm it myself since I am on 4.1.1 atm.

The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check if you have tether plan or not (for those of us that are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data).

The app also does not require root.

wifi tether (native) now works on my phone after 4.2.1 aokp build 1 and build 2 did not work. again aokp 4.2.1 mr1 build 3 has a working wifi tether.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illegalsmile:
I too have had problems with numerous roms and tether. Just today I installed AOSPA 3.0 on my toro and guess what?

NO WIFI TETHER. Everything else was awesome but I have to have tethering when I'm at home.

So, I roll back to my trusty old CM 10.1 01/02/13 nightly build that runs great and has WORKING wifi tether. Good luck.

I know this doesn't help the OP but I just have to THANK YOU for this suggestion. The " Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin along with Foxfi and PDANet works wonderfully on my Verizon Gnex stock unrooted. So, I know its only 4.1.1. We'll see if we ever get 4.2, but in the meantime, this is way better than only being able to connect my Nexus 7 with Bluetooth because of the carrier check.

[General Questions and Answers] bellavista:
Good evening everyone. I was running a custom mod for some time now. Everything was working well, until about 1 month ago.My phone would randomly turn off, and get stuck in a loop. All of a sudden as I was trading currency pairs from my phone. It looped again and has not been able to turn back on. So I searched the threads, and decide to change the custom mod to see if it would work (serendipity). In which I loaded to my sd card, ran from CWM, and it would get stuck on the samsung logo screen.

I then found this link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524081&page=27 which seemed promising. I have downloaded the file recommended, but I can't get into DOWNLOAD mode, because I keep getting stuck on the samsung screen. The only thing I can do is boot into CWM. So once I am there, what do I do? Where do I need to load the "Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click" program as it isn't a ZIP file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Alex
[Android] gat3way:
Hello all,

I am a newbie to Android just like I am a newbie to that forum. I'd just like to share something I did recently, it might be interesting to some of you.

To start with, I am not at all a mobile guy. My hobbies are related to big and noisy machines, password security and GPU cracking.

I have an old HTC Wildfire though and I recently had to analyze an Android application (LastPass) so that I can perform offline GPU password recovery against its local database. Which in turn made my life more interesting :)

Until that point I never bothered to play with my phone as I only used it for calls, messaging and occasional browsing. My job is related to embedded development (mostly infotainment systems) so that at least I have some knowledge about that stuff...not exactly Android though, more like linux-based systems.

So while playing with LastPass, I quickly get accustomed to adb then it turned out LastPass stores its database on /data/data which apparently I had no access too. Reading some stuff about rooting my phone lead me to the impression it is going to be a problematic thing to do (disabling S-ON, updating bootloader, flashing other images and I have no experience with this). Well, I quickly found out there is a local exploit for Android <2.3 which had a funny starcraft name, so I tried it. To my surprise it worked and I was able to acquire the needed data.

Then after some time I decided to look at that /data filesystem again and I was surprised to find out quite a lot of stuff (contacts, messages, browsing history, all in sqlite3 databases). But I was really like struck when I discovered cache.wifi and cache.cell. I couldn't believe my eyes, then I googled it and it turned out this is all old news. But basically it's quite nice way to know where the phone owner was located some time ago. Then of course, Android limits that to last 200 wifi access points and last 50 GSM BTS'es.

Then suddenly I remembered the fact that this data is kept on NAND memory with a filesystem (yaffs2) that does software wear-leveling. Which means, we are likely to have several versions of the logical block split over several physical blocks.

So out of curiousity, I quickly coded some quick'n'dirty scripts to nanddump the device, then some ugly C code to carve the dump, looking for geocache data. Using the data recovered that way, we create a simple HTML file with some javascript to display all the GPS poistions over google maps. The end result was fun, I was able to remember where I was say one year ago (and my memory is bad).

The PoC code is attached. It's rather ugly and coarse, but it works (for me :) ). It runs on linux only (sorry). Feel free to experiment with it.

Regards,

Milen

How has your Battery Life Been After Upgrading to T889UVALL4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KingP1n:
Same....no changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arjun90:
I feel like my battery is discharging faster. With the previous firmware, even when 4G is enabled, the battery lasted for 2-3 days. Now, after the upgrade, the battery last's a little over a ~1.5 days (4G enabled as well).

Is there a difference in battery life when 4G is actively in use and when it is on stand-by (On, but not in use)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottmog:
There is a difference if you throw a 2g only toggle on your home page most likely. Personally though I use 45-55% a day so it doesn't bother me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw6lee:
I am looking for an office suite app for android tablet that lets you open multiple documents at once, with tabs, so that I can switch between them.

I thought Kingsoft Office is supposed to do that because I read a review from PCWorld, and it said just like desktop version, it can switch between open documents with tabs. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. I think the review is false. I have been trying to figure out how to open multiple documents with Kingsoft for HOURS, and can't figure out. I have a Galaxy tab 10.1 original with ICS.

So if I'm correct and Kingsoft does not have this feature, do you guys know any office suite app that lets you open multiple docs at once? Doesn't have to be free. I just need a decent one that have this feature. I only need it for viewing docs anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help!

The link for the review below

And quoting the section im talking about

" I'm particularly impressed by Kingsoft Office's interface. Like the desktop version, it employs tabs for easy switching between multiple open documents. And it just plain looks nice (see below), especially on a tablet, which is where an app like this makes the most sense."

If kingsoft doesnt actually offer this feature, im interested in other office app as well..

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkris2020:
So either I left it at school or it was stolen, I am without my TF300. Can anything be done?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
There really isn't much info here; who did you buy it through? Did you purchase LoJack?

There are some apps available on the play store that will transmit an emergency signal (I think its called Lookout Mobile Security) in case the device is stolen or lost.

Hopefully you can find it, or perhaps you can offer a reward for its' return. I'd post something like "Keep in mind that tablet has real-time GPS location and logging enabled. I am offering a <$$$> reward for it's safe and timely return."

It also has a proprietary charger so they'd have to go out and buy a charger from Best Buy or somewhere similar.

First things first, I'd log into your Google Dashboard and log out of your google account on the device. I think there is also an option to lock it or wipe it clean, not too sure. Also, change your google password, facebook, or any financial passwords just in case. Perhaps even alert your bank that it was stolen and that the individual may have access to your financial information in case any red flags come up.

Finally, did you have any sort of lock on the screen? Pin, passphrase, swipe, or even face unlock?

Good luck getting it back. Hopefully someone with some morals will return it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkris2020:
Have no financial stuff so I'm good, Is there an app I can Push install so it gets tracked?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
I would imagine you could push the Lookout Mobile Security and then use its web interface to track it that way. I'm not well-versed enough in ADB to suggest how to do this, nor do I know how you could push over the web.

Possibly, use google play store and install it. The tablet will automatically install it when it gets back into wifi-range/is unlocked.

Good luck. Technology is definitely on your side.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkris2020:
Got installed, not being tracked thou :(
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
From my experience using the tablet, I'd imagine that means it is either not turned on or not connected to internet. That program is great if you have a 3G or LTE tablet that always has connectivity, but rather limited if the person who has your tablet is only connecting via WiFi.

Keep us posted on what happens!! installing that app is a major first step.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightitwithfire:
I suggest installing the GotYa! app or something of the sort (as long as you have some sort of lock on it). What is does is, whenever there is a failed login attempt it snaps a picture of who it is via front camera and emails it to you with the GPS location embedded. What I personally really love about it, is it keeps attempting to send the email so it if there is no connection it constantly looks for one and sends it when it haves one.

Just make sure you have Starbucks and McDonald's access point's saved ;D

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Go for warranty, if its the lcd there isn't much to do about it. Or replace the digitizer & LCD. But that's a job i won't recommend !
[HTC One X] Cartmanvb:
would it expand,is it something crucially wrong with the LCD,it isn't pixels its like small round circle very fade blue that only appears in dark backgrounds, innoticeable in normal use....
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No it probably won't expand, depends on the pixels itself, i think its bad luck. I had this problem with my tv. Sometimes you see it sometimes you don't, depends on the color that need to be displayed by the pixel.

Its like a 3 color base, 1 color breaks and on a different background you see a different color because it can't display the right color because the pixel needs that particular color to display it right .....if you get my point :p

How do i say this clear and basic.....mixing 2 colors will give a certain other color, now the pixel is dead it can't do that anymore, so on some colors of the screen you see a different color because the pixel can't produce that color anymore ....

Hope i say this right :eek:

more problems with screen,just noticed couple of dead pixels visible on black screen,there are maybe 10,tomorow it's off to the shop with phone...
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Dead pixels aren't visible on black. Maybe you have stuck pixels.
[HTC One X] Cartmanvb:
gotcha :) dead pixels I was referring in my previous post,are visible in black background,and are visible because they are white,are they dead or is that some other problem?? anyway phone will go to the shop tomorrow,because I just bought the damn thing,and it has faulty screen,warranty is 2yrs,anyway they have to accept the phone back....
[HTC One X] Cartmanvb:
my god how many pixels are they dead,hot,stuck... :) maybe it is what you are saying,then how do I resolve it,does it need to go to shop,or is there a quick fix,and the blue stain that I said,is visible in some angles,not in all,to be exact when I tilt the phone to the upper left corner...
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Take it back to the shop, 10 white pixels on black is clearly unacceptable.

A dead pixel is one that is always black

A stuck pixel will be one that has a colour stuck on.

There are industry standard for tolerances of dead/stuck pixels.

I believe screens used in phones and televisions are type 2 which means there has to be 4 damaged pixels in a 1inch area to be considered faulty.

Though in the UK at least you can usually get a direct exchange for anything in the first 14-28 days

Was at Worst Buy today, they said would price match any online price for the Note 2, plus offer me free insurance if broken, or any issues.

I was gonna get the true international Note 2, but worried if it has issued or warranty problems, it would be much easier to just go back to Best Buy than to have to mail it off, out of the country.

So, that being said, I am on Straight Talk, I hate being raped by the carriers and handcuffed into outdated contract system. Would the ATT Note 2 work on my Straight Talk SIM ? Or does the phone need to be unlocked first ?

I never unlocked a phone before. But I always root and install custom ROM the first day I take phone out of the box. Does rooting a phone, automatically unlock it too ?

And how bout HSPA+ ? Straight Talk doesn't do LTE yet, just HSPA+ I know the ATT Note 2 is LTE, but does it also have HSPA+ too, or just slower 3G ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
You would have to unlock it, either buy scrounging a code or going to the carrier and asking for one. Rooting doesn't automatically unlock the device. As far as 4G I really dunno, but I'm sure someone will tell you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meleii:
I believe you only need to buy the att version of the straight talk sim. No need to unlock. Then you go on their web site and get the APN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
Thanks, so I am currently using the ATT SIM on Straight Talk. Just pop that in the new Note 2, and it will work right out of the box ?

What about HSPA+ ? Straight Talk doesn't have LTE. Does the ATT Note 2 have HSPA+ 3G besides LTE ?
